Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and return to a boil. Cook the spaghetti uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly firm, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened, 1 minute. Add the Swiss chard; cook and stir until the chard stems are tender. (You can add some hot pasta water and cover the pan to help steam the chard.)
